My first nephew was born this morning. his name is Everett. he is my brothers second child,the first being Adelaide. Everett was a big baby, at just under 9 pounds and nearly 2 feet long, he was much bigger than any of my siblings were at birth , and was nearly 6 times heavier than me at birth. I’m happy for my brother and his wife and am looking forward to meeting Everett when i head to Vermont next month for his baptism. I would also like to to thank the Daily Kos community for all the kind thoughts, prayers and condolences you sent after the passing of Adelaide. It helped, I assure you. But now is a joyous day, a promise of a life just begun, with all the limitless potential a new life has.
